Abstract: This comparative study explores climate change adaptation strategies in the coastal cities of Sydney, Melbourne, and Brisbane. It examines the effectiveness of various policies, infrastructure projects, technological innovations, and community engagement programs designed to mitigate climate impacts. The research highlights how each city has tailored its approach to address specific geographic and socio-economic challenges. Key findings indicate that smart city technologies, robust urban planning, and active community involvement are critical components of successful adaptation. Despite significant achievements, challenges such as funding constraints, technological disparities, and the need for continuous public engagement remain. The study concludes with strategic recommendations for enhancing resilience and sustainability in coastal cities, emphasizing the importance of integrated and adaptive planning.
